The Ministry of People and Social Development said there is currently no active financial relationship between it and the Trinidad and Tobago Red Cross Society (TTRCS).

The ministry said this position stems from outstanding compliance requirements, specifically the timely submission of audited financial statements.

In a media release dated November 4, the ministry acknowledged the TTRCS is in the process of updating its records and has since submitted audited statements for the period 2019–2022. The release said its statement comes in response to recent media reports concerning the TTRCS’s financial matters.
